Dear Rob,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the huge delay with the appraisal
The presented object appears to be a print on rice paper with the measurements of 17 x 12.5 inches. The print depicts a standing warrior with typical armor and weapons of Mongol or Mandshu warriors. Characteristic is the lamellar armor and the horse bow. This print was made in the second half of the 20th century in Japan.
Works by this artist were recently not offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 50 to 100 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
George
